Major Quality of Life Bumps
This update focuses on clarity, smoother controls, and fixing a number of long-standing issues. Buildings finally tell you what they cost, machines explain what they’re doing, and movement feels better than before.
This is a stripped down version of the blog post which covers a bunch more technical detail. You can read that here: https://exofactory.net/blog/2025-11-16/
New Movement
• Jumping added
The Exoframe can now hop over belts and even on machines. It’s a small change that makes getting around less clunky.
• Exoframe movement speed synced
Movement is more consistent with the animation.
Building Improvements
• Clear building costs everywhere
Costs now show correctly in the build menu, in placement mode, and when you can’t afford something.
No more guessing or seeing a bunch of zeroes.
• Building ghost now shows costs
You’ll always know what resources you’re spending before committing.
• Loading Screen pop-in fixed
Loading screen should work properly now.
• All buildings and recipes show ideal vs. actual rates
Every machine now shows what it should be producing and what it is actually producing, making bottlenecks much clearer.
Controller and Input
• Full controller guide now works as intended
The on-screen prompts match the device you used last, preventing incorrect control hints.
• Better gamepad and keyboard switching
The game correctly detects when you swap between inputs.
Includes fixes for keyboards that identify as Xbox controllers.
• Gamepad pull from miner machine
Interacting with machines using a controller is smoother and more reliable.
Settings Upgrades
The settings menu received a full cleanup:
• New slider-based graphics, audio, and gameplay settings
Clearer, cleaner, and easier to navigate.
• Improved control rebinding
Better support for both keyboard/mouse and controller setups, including a Steam Deck preset.
